Balancing Chemical Equations
A chemical equation is the representation of the chemical reactions. The LHS consists of the reactants and the RHS consists of the products. Balancing chemical equation is the process of equalising the number of each element in the reactants to the products. Enter the equation directly or by clicking the formula of elements, to balance the equation.

Example of Chemical Formula Balancer
Consider an equation N2 + H2 = NH3
Step 1 :
Compare the elements in LHS and RHS
Element | LHS | RHS |
---|---|---|
N | 2 | 1 |
H | 2 | 3 |
Step 2 :
To balance, add 2 to the RHS,
Equation : N2 + H2 = 2NH3
Element | LHS | RHS |
---|---|---|
N | 2 | 2 |
H | 2 | 6 |
Step 3 :
Add 3 to H in LHS,
Equation : N2 + 3H2 = 2NH3
Element | LHS | RHS |
---|---|---|
N | 2 | 2 |
H | 6 | 6 |
Hence it is balanced.
